Today was the first day of school in the town where I live. As I pulled out of the driveway on the way to work this morning, the high schoolers were on the corner waiting for the bus and the middle schoolers were creeping up behind them, fearful of the larger members of the species. Am I the only adult out there who still feels guilty when I see these kids going to school, and I realize I am not going? It seems like by now (I am 32 and have been out of college since 1996) I should have long ago left this feeling behind. But I still feel like I am playing hooky when they are going, and I am not.
Maybe it is that my last milestone was College Graduation (or maybe Getting a Real Job), and I am still single and no one's father. Or maybe it is that I am such a rule-follower that I feel guilty "breaking" any rule which has been applied to me in the past, even when it no longer makes any sense. Or maybe I just miss the days of school, where the day is predictable and you are learning all time.
Am I the only one?
